I went to a RV show yesterday and decided against a Roadtrek and PleasureWay. I liked them, but realized there wouldn't be any room for backpacking equipment, blow up boats, etc. What I'm now thinking is getting a used Sportsmobile and taking out the stove, sink and maybe the back bed. Instead we'd have room for things in storeage bins and could have a blow up mattress if we want to do stealth camping. We'd carry a camp stove that we'd use outside of the van and maybe a cooler with block ice. I can not fix things if they break so I would like to start with something simple.
This looks fun, simple and easy to drive - and, without the kitchen there would be room to bring things:
